I been feeling down since last night I was called to the ER to code a 6 week old baby which delivered under my care. it was very said .beatiful little baby parents went out for first time since birth baby sitter found baby in distress in crib. we got her her coded her but was unable to save her. the parents are devastated. I was hoping you all could pray for the family to help them through it.
as for me i will be fine in a few days I guess. maybe i needed to stop getting so close to my patients:(
thanks for all the prayers and kind words it has been hard the family and myself.but i am getting better i hope they are also. the funeral was yesterday, I was asked to be one of the pallbears , i was honored but it took a lot out of me. it is just so heart breaking to llose a baby for me.
i still think about the night in the ER during the code. doc called it I did not want to stop. my friend and supervisor had to help get me away from the baby.it looks so good i just did not want to give it up, kept expecting a miracle to happen.
well thanks again the prayers and thoughs have been very helpful and comforting.
This may come out wrong, but I hope you are always as saddened by something like this, because that is the mark of humanity and the measure of a caring nurse. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Mark my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time...how sad...brought tears to my eyes, I couldn't imagine losing a chile no matter what age.
My heart aches with you, Mark, and certainly with the parents.
Sometimes there just are no words to express the depths of pain and grief. Prayers for healing and renewal for both you and the grieving parents. ((( )))
thanks for the prayers and kind words. I am doing better, still think of the baby at times actualy woke yesterday by dream (night mare actually).....of the fateful night.thanks again.:)
